What is a palpable error?

A bookmaker can cancel (void) your bet, claiming it was a palpable error (commonly known as a "palp"). This can occur when a bookmaker has made "an obvious mistake", such as reversed the odds of a match or some other kind of accidental error made while quoting the odds.

Our servers filters a lot of obvious palps, and automatically hides the palps for you, but sometimes a few of them gets pass our filtering systems. These palps sometimes appear in RebelBetting, and its good to take notice of them and not to bet on them.

Below is an example of a palpable error that has passed through our filtering system. As you can see, Ladbrokes has flipped the odds of this hockey game. This particular "arb" has "Low reliability" and a "Risk for palpable error" warning (in the arb panel, not shown in this screen shot).
